Keep your BabyBjorn bibs fresh and functional with simple washing and drying steps. Learn how to clean teething bibs and feeding bibs without damaging the fabric or fasteners.

Quick Answer

Machine wash BabyBjorn bibs on hot with like colors and tumble dry low. Avoid bleach and fabric softener to preserve the Tencel fabric and the spill pocket's shape.

Why Proper Care Matters

BabyBjorn bibs are made from Tencel fabric, which is free from harmful substances and safe for your baby. However, improper washing can reduce absorbency, damage the waterproof layer in teething bibs, or cause the feeding bib's deep spill pocket to lose its shape. Following the right routine keeps bibs effective and long-lasting.

Step-by-Step Bib Care Routine

  1. Pre-treat Stains: Rinse food or drool stains under cold water immediately. Apply a small amount of gentle laundry detergent directly to the stain and let it sit for 5 minutes. Avoid hot water on fresh stains—it can set protein-based stains from milk or food.
  2. Machine Wash on Hot: Place bibs in a mesh laundry bag to protect fasteners. Wash on hot with like colors using a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as they can damage the Tencel fibers and reduce absorbency. Hot water ensures thorough cleaning, but always check that the detergent is free of bleach.
  3. Tumble Dry Low or Air Dry: Tumble dry on low heat until slightly damp, then remove and reshape the bib, especially the spill pocket on feeding bibs. Alternatively, hang to air dry completely. High heat can shrink the bib or distort the pocket. If air drying, reshape the pocket while wet.
  4. Inspect Fasteners and Fabric: After drying, check that the adjustable fastener (poppers) still closes securely and that the fabric has no fraying or holes. Replace the bib if the fastener no longer holds. A worn fastener can pose a choking hazard. Discard the bib if the poppers are loose or broken.
